  • Every time I get downvoted, I move an inch closer to the exit door of this community.

    Lol OK bye.

    Nobody gives a shit and complaining about down votes is the quickest way to get them.

    Guess what! Outside of a few custom instances that for some reason want to be reddit, the fediverse doesn’t track your total karma.

    Unless you’re going back to keep track of your comments for some weird reason, the only time you see a down voted comment is when you get replies.

    I could have hundreds of net down votes by now, but I don’t know because luckily my instance doesn’t track votes.

    The point is, it’s a little number next to an arrow. Who gives a shit.



  • Personally, I don’t see any deciet here.

    Nobody claimed anything, someone just went around asking questions. Personally I wouldn’t care if a red hat came into my Cafe and asked questions like that, and I would give my very strong opinions exactly as I would to anyone else. If they said a republican was about to come in for a PR stunt, I would ask to speak to the owner, and if they’re actually cool with that the they have lost my business.

    I still wouldn’t feel like the person who came in was being in nay way subversive.

    Honestly if I ran across one of their candidates alone in the middle of the night I might feel the urge to deck them whether I act on it or not, but that exact thing is the reason they should go without stating the reason for the questions and visit fist thing. What if someone were just psychotic and armed? They could quite easily pretend to be the world’s largest supporter in order to get a seat at the next table over for a better shot, instead of the scout saying “that guy in the corner gave strange vibes, better put extra security over there or pass on this one”

    Or someone might start throwing shoes…



  • When I worked at a store that sold guns in 2016, supposedly there was a chance that a certain oddly-colored cheeto would be making a PR appearance after a speech in town.

    I straight up told my manager if they actually think it’s a real possibility then I will not be returning to work after my lunch break. I don’t think for a second my threat actually made a difference, but I’d like to think my manager and district manager would take their ONLY trained tech for their most profitable services in 8 states and risk them leaving over a PR stunt they know will piss off half the people who shop there.

    However when one of the red hats found out that the district manager called corporate to say it wasn’t a good idea, they quit. Granted, nobody cared since it was their first week, but I know they were talking about being desperate for work they were qualified for that won’t do a background check. So they quit over stupid shit when they apparently needed the money.

    Logic is not strong with that crowd.








  • You know, as much as I hate it… “you know it when you see I but hard to definet” really is accurate.

    There’s plenty of things that aren’t outright illegal that are completely inappropriate around children.

    And if there are things that are context specific, it gets a lot harder to make a computer recognize a problem.

    Audio cues are easy to scan for and computers are pretty good at recognizing sounds, especially in regards to copyright detection (even if their interpretation of “fair use” clause is still fucked 6 ways)

    Video is a lot harder unless the computer is trying to match direct images (it’s a lot easier to recognize a still frame from The Avengers when it’s uploaded full size than it is to recognize a slightly warped, smaller cropped version with someone in front of it commenting on the video)
